My main programming exerience is in Borland's Delphi 5, which suceeded a number of years using Turbo Pascal 7.0 under DOS. So, these new languages like Python, etc al. are a bit odd to me, but I really like the power of the built in dictionaries, tuples, etc.

I'm using an old build of Active State python (2.5.1) which I'll be updating. I managed to write a few modules with very trivial amounts of code, cribbing heavily from "Dive into Python" by Mark Pilgrim.
